to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
This change builds upon D54989, which removes memory allocation from the
critical path of the profiling implementation. This also changes the API
for the profile collection service, to take ownership of the memory and
associated data structures per-thread.
The consolidation of the memory allocation allows us to do two things:
- Limits the amount of memory used by the profiling implementation,
associating preallocated buffers instead of allocating memory
on-demand.
- Consolidate the memory initialisation and cleanup by relying on the
buffer queue's reference counting implementation.
We find a number of places which also display some problematic
behaviour, including:
- Off-by-factor bug in the allocator implementation.
- Unrolling semantics in cases of "memory exhausted" situations, when
managing the state of the function call trie.
We also add a few test cases which verify our understanding of the
behaviour of the system, with important edge-cases (especially for
memory-exhausted cases) in the segmented array and profile collector
unit tests.
Depends on D54989.

Use a more representative test of allocating small chunks for
oddly-sized (small) objects from an allocator that has a page's worth of
memory.

Summary:
This change simplifies the XRay Allocator implementation to self-manage
an mmap'ed memory segment instead of using the internal allocator
implementation in sanitizer_common.
We've found through benchmarks and profiling these benchmarks in D48879
that using the internal allocator in sanitizer_common introduces a
bottleneck on allocating memory through a central spinlock. This change
allows thread-local allocators to eliminate contention on the
centralized allocator.
To get the most benefit from this approach, we also use a managed
allocator for the chunk elements used by the segmented array
implementation. This gives us the chance to amortize the cost of
allocating memory when creating these internal segmented array data
structures.
We also took the opportunity to remove the preallocation argument from
the allocator API, simplifying the usage of the allocator throughout the
profiling implementation.
In this change we also tweak some of the flag values to reduce the
amount of maximum memory we use/need for each thread, when requesting
memory through mmap.
Depends on D48956.

Summary:
This change is part of the larger XRay Profiling Mode effort.
Here we implement an arena allocator, for fixed sized buffers used in a
segmented array implementation. This change adds the segmented array
data structure, which relies on the allocator to provide and maintain
the storage for the segmented array.
Key features of the `Allocator` type:
* It uses cache-aligned blocks, intended to host the actual data. These
blocks are cache-line-size multiples of contiguous bytes.
* The `Allocator` has a maximum memory budget, set at construction
time. This allows us to cap the amount of data each specific
`Allocator` instance is responsible for.
* Upon destruction, the `Allocator` will clean up the storage it's
used, handing it back to the internal allocator used in
sanitizer_common.
Key features of the `Array` type:
* Each segmented array is always backed by an `Allocator`, which is
either user-provided or uses a global allocator.
* When an `Array` grows, it grows by appending a segment that's
fixed-sized. The size of each segment is computed by the number of
elements of type `T` that can fit into cache line multiples.
* An `Array` does not return memory to the `Allocator`, but it can keep
track of the current number of "live" objects it stores.
* When an `Array` is destroyed, it will not return memory to the
`Allocator`. Users should clean up the `Allocator` independently of
the `Array`.
* The `Array` type keeps a freelist of the chunks it's used before, so
that trimming and growing will re-use previously allocated chunks.
These basic data structures are used by the XRay Profiling Mode
implementation to implement efficient and cache-aware storage for data
that's typically read-and-write heavy for tracking latency information.
We're relying on the cache line characteristics of the architecture to
provide us good data isolation and cache friendliness, when we're
performing operations like searching for elements and/or updating data
hosted in these cache lines.
